Midwest Recipe Lyrics

We can start right here

Under the veneer

Under neon lights

The likes of which we commandeer

To the road the moves along the stream that cuts through the city

We can hold hands and walk along

All the while forgetting

What it takes to live a life

With a better sense of self

Shouting from a jar

High up on the shelf

"And so it goes"

Is written on the high brick wall

Above the entrance

To the food court

At the downtown mall

There's nothing to do here

We talk about it

With our bellies full of beer

And our heads full of fear

It's a midwest recipe

Comedy versus tragedy

Being what I want to be

Complaining that I want to leave

We can start right here

Under the veneer

Under neon lights

The likes of which we commandeer

To the road the moves along the stream that cuts through the city

We can hold hands and walk along

All the while forgetting

What it takes to live a life

With a better sense of self

Shouting from a jar

High up on the shelf

(It's a midwest recipe

Comedy versus tragedy

Being what I want to be

Complaining that I want to leave)

We can start right here

Under the veneer

Under neon lights

The likes of which we commandeer

To the road the moves along the stream that cuts through the city

We can hold hands and walk along

All the while forgetting

What it takes to live a life

With a better sense of self

Shouting from a jar

High up on the shelf

("And so it goes")

We can start right here

Under the veneer

Under neon lights

The likes of which we commandeer

To the road the moves along the stream that cuts through the city

We can hold hands and walk along

All the while forgetting

What it takes to live a life

With a better sense of self

Shouting from a jar

High up on the shelf

We can start right here

Under the veneer

Under neon lights

The likes of which we commandeer

To the road the moves along the stream that cuts through the city

We can hold hands and walk along

All the while forgetting

What it takes to live a life

With a better sense of self
